@AMCsquared with DS, I had a very vivid it's a boy dream the week we found out. Up until that point I was convinced it was a girl. With this LO, everyone thought it was a girl but again I had a super vivid dream around week 6-7 that it was a healthy baby boy. It was so clear. I can't wait until you find out!!
I had the NextGen test this last Monday and I'm still patiently waiting but I love seeing everyone's news! It makes me so excited! In my mind I'm sure it's a girl, I'll be happy for whatever but I've had dreams and I keep calling the baby a "she". While patiently waiting I've bought 2 different pajama onesies (don't know the official name for those) so I can have it ready on the day I find out so I can give it to my husband as a surprise. Tick tock tick tock!!!
@ngarciabyu They helped us announce to the family - they popped those confetti canons and that is how everyone found out. Our little one was upset at first but they're both warming up to the idea of a boy joining the family.
I really don't mind what we have but would be nice to have a little girl as we already have a DS. My husband really wants another boy as he says he would be too protective over a girl lol.
@AMCsquared I am pretty much the most impulsive, inpatient, have-to-know-right-now person. So yes. I didn't send my u/s in, but I had an elective one done just before I got my genetic results back. Right next to my office is a place, they charge $20 for early pregnancy and gender scans. Um. How the hell is a person like me supposed to resist that. I'm so proud I've only walked over there ONCE so far. But needless to say it was at 12 weeks exactly. Baby was kinda in the gray area in terms of the nub theory. She said it looked more girl but really wouldn't be surprised if it was a boy. After looking at the potty shot she said she was about leaning 75% girl 25% boy. Needless to say I took the u/s pics home and compared them to all.the.images on the interwebs comparing boy/girl u/s at 12 weeks. So there you have it. I'm crazy. Please don't tell my husband.
We found out this weekend that we're having a BOY! I was totally off, I was sooo sure we were having a girl! Hopefully it doesn't change, the sono tech said the way the baby looked on Monday she would have guessed girl and she said they had 1 patient who's test results came back as boy but she ended up having a girl. I guess only time will tell!
@AMCsquared I'm trying to patiently hold out, but want everyone's opinion on this next part bc I'm torn 50/50.
My DH and I desperately want at least 1 boy (he is only one of two men to pass on the family name). My mom has this elaborate gender reveal planned for next Saturday and I'm debating having the doc tell us on Tues during the scan, or having them keep it a secret and give it directly to my mom so we find out when everyone else does. Besides just having the moment be a bit more intimate between just DH and I if we find out at the Dr office, I'm not sure he/we would be able to hide the slight initial disappointment if it's two girls (duh we're happy to just have healthy babies in the long run). This gender reveal is not only in front of my entire mom's side of the family, but my DH's family wants to Skype it and my other side of the family wants me to FB live, so it's quite the show.
@KathrynJ088 Could you ask the doc to tell you if there is one boy? If not, you'd know it is 2 girls, but if so, you wouldn't know if it is 2 boys or 1 girl 1 boy, so there would still be some surprise at the party. If you're worried about gender disappointment, it might be better not to hear with everyone watching

@KathrynJ088 it seems like you have good reason to find out in advance. It's pretty normal to find out yourself before revealing it to everyone! I'm sure it will make the party more enjoyable for you as well you can take in other people's reactions rather than worrying about your own/DH's.
@KathrynJ088 We found out just the two of us and have been slowly revealing to our families and friends... It's been fun to have mini celebrations... and I've had some time to process. I did a mini gender reveal for the two of us and we used a tripod to record it... We're doing other fun reveals for the family (Grandpas hitting an exploding golf ball with colored powder) and friends.
@kathrynj088 i totally have an opinion about this! i personally could not handle having my actual reaction be in front of an audience. i want to create a little reveal photo but even in that private moment i'm not comfortable being surprised. i think it'd be totally fine for you and DH to know a few days beforehand. it's still a "reveal" bc its for everyone to learn the news. but this way DH has time to process, and also process "disappointment" in case its not what he wants, but then also have enough time to get back on track just being happy about it anyway! i think that's totally normal to possibly feel that way.

I so desperately want to do an elective ultrasound since I'm at 15 weeks now but just 2D starts at $99.00 and there's only one place I've found where I live. I am trying to be patient so I can put that hundred bucks to something for the nursery!! I have my 16 week OB appointment next week but no ultrasound scheduled. I'm thinking they're going to wait until 20 weeks. So happy for y'all who have found out and I feel you ladies waiting it out!
The "mythical" tests the Bump article listed on my app today both came back as boy. I did the ring dangling above the belly - moved back & forth, and the boob size - right has been significantly larger than left since day 1! I haven't seen any old wives tales specific for twins though.
Just a few more days (4 precisely) until we actually know
